BLUE GOLD GUIDE

Army ROTC is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. ARMY ROTC

WHAT IS ROTC? The UNK Army ROTC Program is an elective curriculum you take along with your college classes. It gives you the tools, training, and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college experience like everyone else on campus. When you complete the ROTC program, you’ll have the transferable leadership skills of a U.S. Army Officer, as well as a guaranteed part-time or a full-time job after graduation and commissioning.

GOING INTO NURSING? ROTC CAN HELP! Up to 8 UNK students who are contracted to serve full-time on Active duty or part-time in the National Guard after graduation will receive GUARANTEED admittance to the Nursing program if they meet the minimum UNMC requirements! NURSE SUMMER TRAINING PROGRAM (NSTP) NSTP is a clinical elective conducted the summer between your Junior and Senior year. More than 10 hospitals in the United States, Germany, and Hawaii are NSTP sites.
